THE learner pool at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre is to be reinstated.

Members of Sedgefield Borough Council's cabinet will be asked to allocate £30,000 to the scheme tomorrow.

The chance to bring back the learner pool has come from the dismantling of the pool's water flume last year.

There is also a recommendation to allocate £20,000 to install closed-circuit television security cameras at Spennymoor Leisure Centre.

A sum of £75,000 is to be set aside for work to improve facilities for the disabled at all of the council's leisure centres.

There is also a recommendation to provide a lift to the bowling green at Sunnydale Leisure Centre, Shildon.
